Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder
Chapter 61: Miss Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 30
Only then did he realize that the harmonious family he had thought of was just his wishful thinking. The so-called brotherly love and respect were just his imagination! He felt that his previous hard work was just a joke. Until he was thrown into this storage room to fend for himself.
He had been dreaming about certain scenes these days. He dreamed that his house had not been robbed and his money had not been stolen, that his mother was not paralyzed, and that he did not have broken legs.
He dreamed that his family was happy and harmonious, and he even got married. He saw his wife being bullied by his mother, brothers, sister-in-law, and younger brother's wife, and he thought it was normal!
Every family has some problems like this. He even thinks that his wife is not doing enough and not doing well enough, which is why the family is like this. He did not say anything to help his wife, and watched the hope in his wife's eyes slowly turn into numbness. He watched her suffer all kinds of grievances at home, and finally died of dystocia after several miscarriages...
When he saw this, he suddenly felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, and even felt that everything he was going through was retribution. He deserved it, for the sake of some so-called family, he had hurt the lives of his wife and his children!
He hated these family members especially at this moment, but he hated himself even more. The culprit of all this was his inaction, which led to his wife's tragic end. He was not worthy of being a human being, and he was even less worthy of marrying and having children.
At this moment, he could not do anything, his whole body was stiff, and he could not speak. That night, he took his last breath with tears of regret and hatred for his family.
He was not discovered until several days after his death by his brothers and sisters, who all cursed him for his bad luck.
After dark, he wrapped the old quilt and threw it to the roadside far away. He left without looking back. In the middle of the night, he was dragged away by a stray dog from somewhere. The old ox ended his life in such a hasty way.
Yu Xiaoxiao also knew about this, but she didn't show any extra expression and continued to work on the task at hand.
This year's New Year's Eve was spent at the home of Dr. Zhou, an orphan in public and an old man left behind. The father and son worked hard for most of the day and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Yu Xiaoxiao bought a fish and cooked braised rabbit meat, lime steamed eggs, steamed sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and a hand-shredded old hen. She also found a jar of ordinary wine from the winery in the island country.
The table was filled with food. When Dr. Zhou saw the wine and the rich food, his eyes narrowed with joy.
"Little girl, you must have spent a lot of money on this table. It's hard to get all these things on the table nowadays. I, an old man, am so lucky to have a good meal today." Ever since his wife and son left, he felt that he had always been alone. He himself was not very good at cooking, and he often went hungry.
He saw how many people died of starvation during this famine, and he originally thought that he would starve to death in the end.
But he met this little girl by accident, and he didn't want to take his skills into the coffin, so he took her in. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, this little girl not only learned things quickly.
She also took care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and tried every means to ensure that he had enough food and warm clothes. Even a granddaughter could do the same. He touched the new cotton-padded jacket on his body, and it warmed his heart.
How many years has it been since he last wore new clothes? He himself couldn't remember clearly. He knew that this little girl was not simple, but he didn't want to care. Why should he care so much when she already had one foot in the coffin?
How long can he live? He can eat what he has and wear what he has. In this famine era, he can eat meat and drink a little wine, which is his blessing. He can also see clearly that this girl has a good heart and can't be bad!
After eating and drinking, Old Man Zhou went into the house, took out a stack of money and bills and stuffed them into Yu Xiaoxiao's pockets!
"Little girl, don't refuse. This is your New Year's money." Doctor Zhou stuffed the money into her pocket!
"Grandpa Zhou, what are you doing? You can't spend so much of your New Year's money, so put it away quickly. Wait until the disaster is over before buying wine and meat. I'll cook for you then." Yu Xiaoxiao quickly declined.
"Take it, little girl. I don't need it. My grandson has also sent me some money. I have some savings myself. Besides, with my cooking skills, you don't have to worry about me not having money to buy meat." Old Master Zhou looked indifferent.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't refuse after hearing what he said. She knew that the old man would feel at ease only after receiving the money. Doctor Zhou smiled with satisfaction!
The two of them roasted by the fire, chatted, and ate melon seeds. They also roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes by the fire, and the whole house was filled with fragrance. Yu Xiaoxiao and Old Man Zhou finally made dumplings together and ate them before going home.
The new year has arrived! The people have gone from being full of hope to being full of disappointment. In just a few months, the famine years have not ended, and people are struggling to survive again.
Yu Xiaoxiao sent 2,000 tons of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and small rabbits to the troops every three months, which greatly alleviated the food shortage in the troops!
Every few days, they would go to the black market to sell a batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes. The black market boss made a lot of money and expanded his business to several surrounding cities. The results were also gratifying, resulting in few cases of starvation in these cities.
Yu Xiaoxiao's daily life has not changed much, except that she has become closer to Old Man Zhou. Old Man Zhou teaches her almost step by step, and she has now started to learn how to feel the pulse.
Doctor Zhou would feel the pulse of every patient who came to see him, and then ask her to feel it again. After the patient left, he would ask her about the characteristics of the patient's pulse, what disease he had, how to treat it, how to prescribe medicine, and how to give him an acupuncture needle!
After doing this routine every day, Yu Xiaoxiao's medical skills improved rapidly. Doctor Zhou accidentally found out that Yu Xiaoxiao was very strong, so he started to teach her bone setting!
In the autumn, Yu Xiaoxiao asked Mr. Zhou for leave to go to the mountains to dig medicinal herbs, pick mushrooms, and pick chestnuts.
There was not even any bark left on the trees outside the mountain, so she had to go deep into the mountains to find what she wanted. The old man wanted to go with her, but he was old and worried that his body couldn't handle it, after all, they would have to stay in the mountains for several days.
After entering the deep mountains, Yu Xiaoxiao enjoyed digging various medicinal herbs, chestnuts, wild fruits, and firewood.
Fortunately, she encountered a group of wild boars that were about to come down the mountain to look for food. She was not afraid at all. With great strength and mental power, she knocked them all down in a short time and put them all into the space.
We stayed on the mountain for ten full days before reluctantly going down. If we had stayed any longer, I guess old man Zhou would have been worried.
I went back to tidy up, took a shower, and had a good sleep. The next day, I carried half a basket of mountain products and a basket of high-quality medicinal herbs. I also killed an old hen in the space and pulled out a ginseng that I had planted in the space. I put it in a black bag and walked towards Grandpa Zhou's house in high spirits.
Mr. Zhou had a patient at the time, so he just nodded to her and went on with his business!
After the old man finished his work, he came in to see what the little girl had gained from this trip to the mountains. The first thing that Old Man Zhou did was to check the basket of herbs. At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao handed the black bag to the old man mysteriously.
"What's this good stuff?" Mr. Zhou asked with a raised eyebrow. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but smugly motioned for him to open it.
